AIKEN, S.C. – The Hutson-Etherredge Companies and Auto-Owners Insurance USC Aiken Student-Athlete of the Week is golf standout Rory McDonald O'Brien.

O'Brien, a native of Shrewsbury, England, led the Pacers to a fifth-place finish at the Cateechee Fall Invitational.

He shot a team-best seven-under par, 206, at the event. O'Brien's score was good enough for third place at the tournament. He shot scores of 68-71-67 for the 54-hole event.

O'Brien's third-place finish is the best effort by a Pacer this season. His 67 in the third round of action marked the team's best individual round of the tournament. It was also the best round by USC Aiken this year.

The Hutson-Etherredge Companies and Auto-Owners Insurance USC Aiken Athletic Department Student-Athlete of the Week honors one student-athlete each week from an in-season sport for their hard work and effort.
